Power boats
Powerboats are propelled by one or more motors, which are usually combustion engines, although more electric motors are in use today. Inboard engines are inside the boat with an appendage protruding from the bottom of the hull that is attached to a propeller. These appendages are usually fixed shafts or they can be pod drives with directional thrust. Outboard motors are self-contained engines that have an attached propeller. Outboards are mounted on the transom (aft end) of the boat.
There’s a vast difference in powerboats based not only on size and shape but also on the intended use. Although you can enjoy most activities on most boats, we have grouped designs by typical use in our types guide.
